The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

If “every single one was here illegally,” why not give them due process and prove that? Why sing the alien enemies invocation in the dark of night and then rush people on to planes and defy a court order to turn them around?

Trump doesn’t apologize for anything. Now he’s threatening retaliation if our governor doesn’t bend the knee.
A President cannot deny a state funds appropriated by Congress just because he doesn’t agree with our policies. That’s illegal. He certainly can’t demand an apology.
This is so absurd.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
